A more descriptive term would be "polarization."

The tension between the liberal and conservative elements of society that are as fundamental as youth and age, heart and head. The anarchies of desire, versus the tyrannies of judgement. Motor and steering.

In Deep Throat's immortal words, "Follow the money."

Our culture dissolves into this economic Ebola virus, as all value is broken into its monetary equivalent.

As a social super organism, states have government, the executive and regulatory function, as a form of nervous system, while money and banking function as blood and the circulation system.
